I wonder if the 'consistency' will mean all tracks have to source their shale from the same supplier; will have to have copious amounts of sawdust available, as well as the correct equipment and manpower?

See the statement on the BSPA website. 2 Track Curator advisors appointed to visit every track during the season.

Just keeping ready for 2021

Exactly Steve Holloway!! For all those clamouring for teams to have a British no.7, Poole could well have one by the end of May?! If the team building points limit was a little higher and untried Aussies came in on 4.50/5.00, then Poole would have Neilsen at reserve.

Zane Keleher and Ben Cook confirmed

...not forgetting Eastbourne too!!!

'Obsession with Johnny foreigner'??? We've got 4 Brits already!!!

At the end of the season yes!! All as a result of deferring earlier fixtures

Not according to what he's tweeted. Seeking a mechanic for a'PL team place in negotiation'!

Poole are not racing on Wednesday 8th because they are at home on Good Friday April 10th. No club or fans for that matter are going to 2 meetings in 3 days!!

Didn't stick with plan D for long!! So onto Plan E or back to the earlier discussions.?

I agree. It wasn't a criticism, just a comment!!

The Eastbourne promoter has given his view and has accepted the BSPA decision as to the reasons for the change - without saying anything about the actual reasons, other than that they were valid!!

But clearly still worth commenting on........

It was a question hence the question mark?

I think he means Worrall!! So the final 2 to be announced on Wednesday - a bit later than planned - due to reassurances on fitness and possible fixture clashes?!

Yes you are right. I should have checked the official listing rather than rely on someone else's version on here!!! Apologies.

I understand that!! His ban would have been til the April of the year following the offence. BUT as far as applying successfully for a work visa, some UK visa applications have a 2-year restriction if various application deadlines have been missed or something was wrong with the original paperwork?! Not sure if or how it may have affected the situation...?

Am I right in recalling C.Holder's ban following the KL sacking, ended in the April? If so maybe any new visa/work permit cannot be validated until the anniversary of the ending of that ban?!

No you don't! Eastbourne v Poole in Round 1. Winners to meet Somerset in Round 2.

How do Poole get a bye? Poole v Eastbourne in the first round!!

Its Matt Ford thats putting the team together!! Spoke to him yesterday from France during a break in filming the TV series. Yet another change of plan for the final 2 it seems!! Not long to wait now though..........

You two should get a room or at least a different thread!!!! Meanwhile the Aussie u21 takes place today. Could be relevant to Poole's final 2 riders?!

I think it probably reflects the dire financial straits many clubs find themselves in and the BSPA attempts to keep costs to a minimum where possible.

Somebody's read their Speedway Star already!!!
